Topic: Walmart Dewback w/Sandtrooper (Read 14451 times)

****! There's no Walmarts in NYC. This looks really cool though. I need to figure out a way to get a couple of these! I'm hoping the sandtrooper has articulated hips, but it also seems like he may just have a split-leg stance.

I was really happy to see this image yesterday. I've been hoping we'd see re-dos of some of those mid-sized beasties (I'm hoping for a new Taun Taun at some point), and this one looks pretty good for the picture. The main drawback for me, as others have mentioned too, is that it is exclusive to Wal-Mart. Our local stores have been very hit and miss with SW exclusives, and our closest store has downsized its toy aisle in general. The A-Wing never did hit any of our stores locally, so I hope there is better luck with this year's crop of exclusives (which is now the Dewback, the Evolutions, and possibly a rumored new AT-ST?). Could be another crazy 2nd half with exclusives this year.

Agreed. Especially when I have to compete with BBTS sometimes eating up all of WM's exclusives - of the few stores that actually sell exclusives. Looks very nice though. Will pick one up if I can find one.

There's one just on the other side of the Lincoln Tunnel Lando. Never fear.

Not that you can go strictly by it, but the box looks to be the same size as the A-Wing box, so I think it should follow the same pricing as that prior exclusive. (By the way, has anyone seen one in the wild lately?)

I saw one over the weekend, but it had a Brainiac where the pilot should have been.

If Hasbro wasn't charging 25 bucks for the Gelagrub/Felucian Clone "Battle Pack", I would agree with you. This being said, if Wal-Mart charges less than 29.96 for it, I'd be shocked. Given that the A-Wing with figure was 30 bucks last year before the across-the-board price hike on the SF assortment at Wal-Mart, I'm thinking that this will probably wind up costing close to 35 bucks.
